Athlete Fundraising - #joinourteam

Helping individual athletes fulfil their sporting dreams

For over 30 years the Australian Sports Foundation has helped sporting clubs and organisations fundraise for sport, and now individual athletes can receive tax-deductible donations to support their sporting career.

Once registered with us, you will get your VERY OWN fundraising page that is easily accessible and can be shared online or via social media.

Donations received through your fundraising campaign will be granted back to you on a monthly basis, plus you’ll have direct access to our fundraising resources, advice and our online portal where you can manage your page and donations at any time.

Athlete Fundraising allows all Australians, both individuals and organisations, to donate to support individual elite athletes, with the added bonus of all donations of $2 or more being tax-deductible.

Documentation supporting your representation in your sport at the state level or higher, or your preparation for selection. (eg. Letter of acceptance, A link to a website confirming your pathway or representative selection).

At least one image of yourself in sporting uniform or playing sport (landscape works best).

Description for your web page, telling us about your sporting career and what you are raising funds for.

Individual athletes register online to #joinourteam and, once assessed for eligibility, a fundraising page will be set up for anyone to donate to. Fundraising pages can easily be shared online or via social media, and funds donated will be granted to the athlete on a monthly basis.

Because our organisation is fully self-funded, we need to retain a small amount of all donations to enable us to continue to support Australians to achieve their sporting dreams. We use the money to support clubs and individuals through our tax-deductible F4S fundraising initiative as well to promote the importance of sport in the community via our Grassroots Fundraising efforts.

We are really transparent about how we operate and the amount we retain is as follows:

5% for all online transactions

6% for all manual donations

The money donated to your organisation or club will be distributed back to you every month in the form of a grant. These grants are acquitted using a simple online acquittal process accessed through our F4S Partnership Portal.

They get to help out an athlete AND get a tax deduction! All donors get to nominate a particular athlete at the time they donate – ie. they are not contributing to other blanket fundraising which may or may not go to the athletes themselves.
